Originally fitted to a commercially-built locomotive, the boiler has had only a handful of steamings. Teething problems with the engine precluded further use, the owner ended up with just a lightly used boiler salvaged from what sounds like a painfully expensive experience.
We've stripped the boiler and taken thickness readings - in good condition throughout it's had a new hydraulic test with certification issued for same.
Complete with washout plugs, grate, blowdown valve and a pair of three-cock water gauges.
